West Virginia — a postcard collection cut from coal seams and Allegheny hollows, where lithographed views climb New River gorges and linen cards salute the company towns, capitol dome, and switchback railroads that stitched the Mountain State together one ridge at a time.

About the Source

Bella Frye curates American postcards from the great postcard golden age (1900s-1930s) — greetings cards, large-letter cards, real-photo postcards, and linen-finish scenic plates from publishers like Curt Teich, Detroit Publishing, and the smaller regional houses that documented every Main Street, courthouse square, and natural wonder in America. The aged paper tone and original lithographic color are preserved in the print.

Materials & Finish

Printed to order in our Pacific Northwest studio on premium 380gsm cotton canvas with archival pigment inks. Hand-finished and framed in our signature ornate frame with verdigris corner detail, available in three finishes:

• Ebony — deep black with carved ornate detailing; dramatic against light walls
• Verdigris — aged copper-green with antique patina; the signature Bella Frye look
• Bourbon — warm walnut tone with ornate relief; rich and historically grounded

Stretched canvas (frameless gallery wrap) is available for those who prefer a frameless presentation.

Where It Belongs
